Volume 87, Issue 21 e COPYRIGHT 1992 Wednesday, October 7,1992 Regents discuss plans for growth in school enrollments By Damon Cline
The Lumberjack
The Arizona Board o f Regents is wondering how it
will accommodate the 55,000 new students expected
to enroll within the next 16 years.
The board is examining long and short-term plans
to deal with the already crowded state universities,
and the 57 percent enrollment increase expected by
the year 2010.
The Commission on Public Higher Education En­rollment
Growth Planning will give recommenda­tions
for the board to consider before vc ing on plan
specifics.
“The predictions are b^sed on demographics and
census studies which suggest an overall population
growth and an increasing amount o f out-of-state stu­dents,
1* said Rhian Evans, student regent.
The short-term plan would develop over the next
seven years and calls for the expansion o f evening and
weekend classes at Arizona State University and the
University o f Arizona. The feasibility o f NAU week­end/
evening classes has not yet been determined.
"The board is pretty much in agreement over the
short-term plan because they do feel we need more
evening and night courses," Evans said.
Under this plan NAU would have the responsibility
o f providing undergraduate and masters level pro­grams
to rural parts o f the state through 2+2 and
telecommunications programs.
The telecommunications network would be coordi­nated
statewide among the three universities and
would expand N A U ’s existing network (NAUNet.)
ASU West will be revised to emphasize undergradu­ate
education.
Evans said ASU West is currently offering only
upper division courses and has a capacity for 20,000
students.
A long-term plan, which would be based on the
plans established during the short-term planning
period, would start in the year 2001 and be completed
by 2010.
During this period ASU West is expected to grow to
10,000 students, while a second campus o f 10,000
would be built in the east valley o f Maricopa county.
The board believes that two campuses o f 10,000
stud en ts each wou 1 d give a h igher quality u n dergra d u-ate
education than one campus of 20,000.
A third campus of 5,000 to 10,000 students would be
located in Pima county.
These new campuses would be operated by ASU/
UA depending on their geographic location, and may
either be operated as branch campuses or separate
with their own presidents.

Flagstaff Police Department is
investigating an NAU graduate stu­dent
for allegedly sexually assault­ing
a female student at his resi­dence
Sunday, Oct 4.
Sargent Dennis Connell, Flag­staff
P.D. community relations of­ficer,
said the suspect and the vic­tim
submitted written statements
as detectives began investigation
o f the case.
Information taken from the
victim’s statement, said she often
eacerciscd at the recreation center
where'tne-suspect was employed.
She said the suspect helped her
for two weeks with her exercise
program, when the subject o f a
massage came up in conversation.
According to her statement, the
suspect said he was a trained mas­seuse
and that he could give her a
massage if she wan ted one.
She agreed and he told her not
to tell anybody because he would
get in trouble.
At approximately 5 p.m., she said
he picked her up at Mountain View
dorm and drove to his FlagstafT
home.
The victim said she fell asleep
about one hour into the massage.
She awoke shortly afterward to find
the suspect assualting her.
She told him to stop and he com­plied.
She said he asked her what
was wrong and told her, “1 told you
on the phone that! wasn't going to
charge you and 1 thought you had
the same feelings.*
She said she was never restrain ed
or held down.
The victim said no other rela­tionship
besides a professional one
had existed between her and the
suspect. She also said the two of
them never dated or expressed any
romantic interest.
In the suspect’s statement, he
says he had a romantic interest but
never expressed itto the victim. He
said he thought the victim shared
his feeLings.
He said he implied, but never
stated to the victim, that the m a w
sage was going to be “private* and
not professional. He also said the
victim never fell asleep because
tli ey carried on conversations after
she closed her eyes.
Furthermore, he said she never
gave him any response or negative
feedback when he massaged the
more “risque" parts o f her body.
“I guess I misread the cues, what
cues there were," he said to an
officer.

Interested women have tried to organize a chapter o f
Delta Sigma Thetaat NAU for about the lastthree years,
said senior marketing major Stacee Johnson. Despite
difficulties, a “spring reign" may be within view for the
establishment o f the traditionally black sorority.
Because of difficult circumstances, such as finding
enough interested women and providing the neces­sary
funding and seeking advisement, colonization
has been continually postponed, Johnson said.
But now the women are closer than ever to achiev­ing
recognition. '“We have enough girls interested in
membership, we should be able to provide at least
half o f the money necessary for each girl through
several upcoming fund-raisers and we’re trying to
seek advisement through a dual chapterwith the one
at Arizona State University, if necessary. We’d like to
have local advisement,"Johnson said.
Requirements for the chapter are specified by the
university, the national Delta Sigma Theta organiza­tion
and the National Panhellenic Council. Some
requirements to establish a chapter include: a mini­mum
o f 10 women, a 2.5 grade-pointaverage, sopho­more
class standing (24 credits) and about a $600 to
$700 initial fee for participants.
NAU Greek Coordinator Sue Ries-Sager said she is
very supportive of the idea for Delta Sigma Theta to
colonize at the university.
Ries-Sager said there are 12 fraternities and five
sororities on campus currently, and the addition o f
Delta SigmaThetawould likely serve as the university’s
sorority lim it
NAU has had one black fraternity colonize. Kappa
Alpha Psi existed between 1967 to 1990. T o date, there
has never been a black sorority to colonize at NAU.
I f established, the local chapter will abide by Delta
Sigma Theta’s strong heritage o f being community-oriented,
John son said. She also emphasized the im­portance
o f fun.
Erika Thompson, a junior math major and fellow
coordinator o f the project, said, “We’re open to any­one,
not just African-American women."
"Many current sororities do not support the idea o f
us colonizing a chapter o f Delta Sigma Theta here.
They see us as an adversary and don't want more
competition. I ’m aware that their minority ratios are
not high, so Delta Sigma Theta would not really affect
their pools. We're not out to alienate, butwe want our
chance, too,"Johnson said.
Interested women should contact Johnson in the
Marketing Department o f Athletics or Thompson at
the Multicultural Student Center at university 525­5656
for more information. Prospects may attend
informational meetings on the second floor lobby o f
Allen Hall, Wednesdays at 9:50 p.m.

More than 200 students showed up
for a right-sizing rally Tuesday in the
Wilson/Tinsley quad, where they spoke
with students, faculty and administra­tion.
Dr. David Whorton, associate vice
the audience. He began by aping, "I do
not think I will change your mind, and
that’s fine."
H e discussed the reasons for right­sizing,
and assured the audience there is
no hidden agenda and that all informa­tion
regarding the pvopoaed cuts is amil-able
to anyone who wants to tee it, and
no information was being withheld.
Whorton also said the cuts were the
result of four years o f oonsideretiosu
the programs. Those criteria were cen­trality
to the mission, cost o f the pro­grams,
effectiveness of the programs,
benefits o f the programs and the place
of the programs in the future.
Whorton also said that while some
programs were being eliminated, other
programs, which met the criteria better,
would be enhanced.
For instance, a doctorate in forestry
has been approved for the last two years,
and the school has not been able to
afford to implement the program. With
more funds, the school o f forestry will be
able to offer a doctorate degree.
"We feel k would be a real star in our
crown to have a doctorate program in
forestry," Whorton said.
Tony Parker, director o f the School o f
Communicatian, spoke. He dis­agreed
with Whorton and said that in­formation
was beh ^ withheld.
He cited €— f l ea o f incomplete
aacerpt* t h i portrayed the o f
communication in a negative fight.
"I have not seen _ J
tion for the cuts," Parker said, "We can­not
defend our programs because we do
not know the reasons that they have
been cut."
Parker said that students should know
the criteria and reasons for their pro­grams
being cut and they have the right
to know what was going on.
Dr. Paul Stoltz, professor o f speech
communication, spoke on motivation.
He urged the students to "Begin with
the end in mind. You are the ones with
power, get mad and take action."
Student Regent Rhian Evans spoke
and urged all students tovote for candi­dates
who support education. She said
money has been taken back by the state
fircm this university for eight o f the last
